Titanium Dioxide: Import Duties
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, what assessment he has made of the potential merits of introducing tariffs on Chinese-produced imported titanium dioxide in the context of recent tariff decisions taken by the (a) EU and (b) US.
Answered by Mr Douglas Alexander
The Department remains alert to significant trade remedy cases between WTO members and will continue to closely monitor those cases where the UK has an interest.
While there has not yet been an assessment, as the Trade Remedies Authority has no open investigations on imports of dumped or subsidised titanium dioxide, we would encourage UK producers to contact the Trade Remedies Authority, who may consider an investigation, if they do have concerns.
